What causes fibroids?
Many women want to know the cause of uterine fibroids and if they can be avoided. Unfortunately, researchers don’t know the cause of uterine fibroids. There are factors that can put you at an increased risk for developing fibroids. Hormone levels is one factor that can stimulate the growth of fibroids, and is a reason sometimes they tend to shrink after menopause. African American women tend to have fibroids more often, and larger in size, especially if their mother or sister had fibroids.

In Traditional Eastern Herbalism, natural herbal alternatives are used to address the underlying problem - blood stasis and vital energy stagnation. Blood stasis meaning that blood is not flowing smoothly along its normal pathways in the female system; instead, it begins to accumulate in an area where blood clots can subsequently lead to various gynecological problems. This is why many women who have uterine fibroid may also experience ovarian cyst.

We are getting more comments regarding non-stop periods. It is clearly not normal. Our followers are asking why. These are what might be the causes:

"Fibroids are generally believed to prevent the uterus from contracting the way it needs to stop the periods. Menstrual bleeding, therefore, is in a sense left unchecked. This explains why flow is so much heavier in women who have fibroid or cyst.

Additionally, fibroids can produce proteins that activate blood vessels within the uterus. Those vessels bleed more freely into the uterine cavity. "
